Default Brief Intro and Pics

Hi CL, took a couple of pics of my recently purchased LS. It is an 08 with ML. This is my 3rd LS, I have owned all 3 generations at this point. Most recent vehicle was a '08 GS.

I do not plan on any significant mods, had the windows tinted (35%) all around. I am in the process of upgrading to LED's in and out. Will do a trunk spoiler and maybe a roof spoiler. May do wheels and tires next spring plus little things along the way

Other vehicles in the stable are a 2013 328xi (Wifes Car), 2004 Infiniti G35X (sons car).

Thanks for looking. Sorry for the crappy I-phone pics.

Congrats on the new car Pete, and welcome to the LS forum!

It would be interesting to hear your comparison of all 3 generations.

Thank you all for the welcome. I greatly appreciate the knowledge you all share and the enthusiasm you have. I just hope to make meaningful contributions from time to time where I can.

As for the compare between the 3 gens, that is a tough one as each have/had their pro's and con's. For Style and performance I would put the 460 at the top of the list, followed closely by the 400. Overall ride comfort and build quality I would give the 430 the nod.

Admittedly I am still getting used to the 460 and it has been many years since I had the 400 but the 400 does hold a special place in my heart. It was my first luxury car as well as my first Lexus and it did not disappoint.
